  • Clinical trials
    • Although the pharmaceutical manufacturer identified the BRIDGE trial comparing dimethyl fumarate with fumaric acid esters, it did not take this into account when assessing the additional benefit due to the short treatment duration of 16 weeks.

a) adult patients with moderate to severe psoriasis vulgaris who require systemic drug therapy

  • An additional benefit is not proven.
  • The pharmaceutical manufacturer has not provided any data for patient population A, which is the subject of this assessment; consequently, no conclusions can be drawn regarding the additional benefit of dimethyl fumarate.
  • No additional benefit is therefore proven.

b) adult patients with moderate to severe psoriasis vulgaris who have had an inadequate response to other systemic therapies, including ciclosporin, methotrexate or oral PUVA (psoralen and ultraviolet A light) or who have a contraindication to or are intolerant of such therapies

  • An additional benefit is not proven.
  • The pharmaceutical manufacturer has not provided any data for patient population B under assessment; consequently, no conclusions regarding the additional benefit of dimethyl fumarate can be drawn.
  • An additional benefit is therefore not proven.
